    SK here and *trying* to do the familiar's wild quest and drew the bad card. Boars!

    Where can i find

    1 - boar's that are aggro (can't harvest unless they attack)
    2 - High enough level that looking at them I don't kill them before I can catch them.:|

    thanks for any help here with this one.

    either mentor down
    or just delete quest and ask for a new one until you get something you like

    Did delete quest. got same quest., yup suppose I can go over and over till I get non boar. BUT... the question remains.
    anyone know of boars that are more high level?

    Decided to take the easy road. re-asked for quest till I received something reasonable. still had to mentor to 5, took off all my armor, dismounted, an then I could pull, aggro and catch.

    As a caster I turn off my "proc" buffs and use Root to "anger" the targets.. About 20% of the time I still have another damage proc that goes off and kills everything.. but can still do the quest without mentoring down. On my tank I use to use my taunts.. before they added (or was it thru AA) damage to them.

    Is the quest for Bovine? Or it is just Pigs and Boars? Bovine includes Deer.. Herds of them in Thundering Steppes and in Rivervale. Or I'm crazy and I'm thinking of another target.. haha

    I do the pigs out in Windstalker Village. Just strip yourself of gear and buffs. They respawn quickly. Can also do pigs in Loping plains.

    Cast siphon strength on them to get them to aggro, then hit the crate icon. This for SK, I haven't figured out the other classes yet.

    You can root them, mez them, charm them. There are some tinkered items you can use that will aggro things without killing them. There are the boars in Steamfont, there are boars in the Moors.

    When doing older content, I just take off my gear if I need to fight something without one shot kills.
